Green Learning Educational Guides

Can you name the three public water systems? Or three ways to reduce waste and conserve water? The askHRgreen.org Green Learning Educational Guides have these answers and so much more. Download a free copy now!

Written according to Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) guidelines by a team of experts who work in the region’s public works and public utilities departments, the askHRgreen.org Green Learning Guides connect students to their environment by combining educational information with fun age-appropriate activities such as colorful maps, engaging infographics, and puzzles. Corresponding Teacher’s Guides have also been created to highlight fun, interactive class activities to further reinforce important environmental concepts and take the topics “beyond the book.” Topics covered include the water cycle, watershed education, pollution prevention, water conservation, wildlife protection, waste reduction, recycling, and prevention of sanitary sewer overflows.
